Resist

Resist against the unjust times,

Resist against vile, creeping crimes.

When shadows stretch and silence reigns,

Rise up and break free from binding chains.

Resist the voice that seeks to steal,

The truths you know, the way you feel.

Stand firm when others cross the line,

Your worth is sacred, your soul divine.

But sometimes love is a softer fight,

A quiet heart in the fading light.

When loved ones, old, hold on too tight,

And you don’t want to dim their might—

Then pause your urge to “resist,” “resist,”

And ease the storms you might have missed.

For love is patient, love is kind,

It heals the heart, it frees the mind.

Not every “No” must meet a fight,

Some truths dissolve in a softer light.

Let peace prevail where bonds hold tight,

And go with the flow, just for tonight.

Know when to rise, know when to bow,

Life’s wisdom lives in the “when” and “how.”

Resist for justice, but yield for love—

Balance rests in the stars above.
